Poetry.com

The first thing I noticed about Poetry.com was the contest that features big cash prizes. Entry is free, so I couldn’t figure out where the award money comes from? Reading through the FAQ, I spotted the question: “Where can I buy the anthology with my poem in it?” It must be like the Who’s Who books that are made explicitly to sell to those who are included in them.

It’s not a bad pitch, though. Wouldn’t you buy a book that had your poem in it?
